This is still an issue on 14.04. From the moment the desktop appears
until the first search result shows up on the dash it's a good minute
and a half on a moderately fast laptop (i5-4200M, 8GB RAM, 7200rpm hdd).

Title:
  Unity dash file search is extremely slow

Status in Unity Files Lens:
  Incomplete
Status in Zeitgeist Framework:
  Incomplete
Status in “unity-lens-files” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I try to use the Unity dash search feature to navigate to files
  and folders, it is extremely slow. For example, if I hit the super
  button to launch the search and then type "Pictures" to get my
  pictures directory, it takes almost 5 seconds for the folder icon to
  show. In comparison, if I use Gnome-Do to navigate to my Pictures
  folder, it's basically instant.

  I have attached a video screencast so that you can see the problem for yourself.
